Since they weren't sleepy and nothing had been left unsaid, they began to read poetry to each other, taking turns like children and enjoying it. Bachir had a lovely voice, one that was already that of a man. He knew many poems by heart. He lovingly recited Victor Hugo, with warmth Rimbaud's Le bateau ivre, and poems written by young people going into battle; he then moved on to the poets of liberty - Rimbaud again, Eluard, and Desnos. ~ Assia Djebar
Robert Desnos quotes by Assia Djebar
Oh,' said a very white body as it threw a wrist watch to the ground which broke without attracting anyone's attention, 'Oh, how can anyone not love poetry, natural machines, large white houses, the brilliance of steel, crimes and wild passions? ~ Robert Desnos
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Desnos
I've dreamed of you so much you're losing your reality.
Is there still time to reach that living body and kiss
onto that mouth the birth of the voice so dear to me?
I've dreamed of you so much that my arms, accustomed
to being crossed on my breast while hugging your shadow
would perhaps not bend to the shape of your body.
And, faced with the real appearance of what has haunted
and ruled me for days and years, I would probably
become a shadow.
o sentimental balances.
I've dreamed of you so much it's no longer right
for me to awaken. I sleep standing up, my body exposed
to all signs of life and love, and you
the only one who matters to me now, I'd be less able
to touch your face and your lips than the face and the lips
of the first woman who came along. I've dreamed of you so much, walked so much, spoken
and lain with your phantom that perhaps nothing more is left me
than to be a phantom among phantoms and a hundred times more shadow
than the shadow that walks and will joyfully walk
on the sundial of your life. ~ Robert Desnos
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Desnos
The Landscape"

I dreamt of loving. The dream remains, but love
is no longer those lilacs and roses whose breath
filled the broad woods, where the sail of a flame
lay at the end of each arrow-straight path.

I dreamt of loving. The dream remains, but love
is no longer that storm whose white nerve sparked
the castle towers, or left the mind unrhymed,
or flared an instant, just where the road forked.

It is the star struck under my heel in the night.
It is the vvord no book on earth defines.
It is the foam on the wave, the cloud in the sky.

As they age, all things grow rigid and bright.
The streets fall nameless, and the knots untie.
Now, with this landscape, I fix; I shine. ~ Robert Desnos
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Desnos
One can,' said Ernest 'remain unmoved before a cloud as before an automatic ticket machine. I don't like poetry, I don't like flowers, I don't like machines, I don't like sugar, I don't like pepper, I don't like what you like.' This was addressed to whoever attacked Ernest. ~ Robert Desnos
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Desnos
The desire to vanquish, the nihilism always implicit in love, varies according to the weapons which are employed. ~ Robert Desnos
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Desnos
Two Metro lines, two trains, two carriages, two people walking in parallel streets, two lives, couples criss-crossing without seeing each other, potential encounters, meetings which shall never take place. The imagination rewrites history. It modifies the local directory and the roll-call of those who frequent a town, a street, a house, a woman. It transfixes reflections in the mirror for all eternity. It hangs entire portrait galleries from the wall of our future memory on which magnificent strangers use a sharp knife to engrave their initials and a date. ~ Robert Desnos
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Desnos
Lost between segments of a ferocious horizon, the white-helmeted explorer prepares to die and assembles his memories in order to discover how an explorer should end his days: with his arms outstretched and his face in the sand, or should he dig a fugitive tomb because of wind and hyenas, or just curl up in the so-called broken-gun position which causes so much worry to mothers when they discover that this is the position in which their offspring prefer to fall asleep, or will it be a lion or sunstroke or thirst that does the honours for him. ~ Robert Desnos
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Desnos
Robert Frost liked to distinguish between grievances (complaints) and griefs (sorrows). He even suggested that grievances, which are propagandistic, should be restricted to prose, leaving poetry free to go its way in tears. ~ Edward Hirsch
Robert Desnos quotes by Edward Hirsch
In 1916, President Wilson drafted the speech in which he declared, "It shall not lie with the American people to dictate to another what their government shall be." His Secretary of State Robert Lansing wrote in the margin: "Haiti, S Domingo, Nicaragua, Panama."6 That ~ Os Guinness
Robert Desnos quotes by Os Guinness
Twyla Tharp is not going to take orders from anyone, not even Mozart! ~ Robert Gottlieb
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Gottlieb
untrammelled flow ~ Robert Galbraith
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Galbraith
Jew storekeepers have already learned the advantage to be gained from this [unlimited credit]: they lead on the farmer into irretrievable indebtedness, and keep him ever after as their bondslave hopelessly grinding in the mill. ~ Robert Louis Stevenson
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
Some books are lies frae end to end,
And some great lies were never penn'd ... ~ Robert Burns
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Burns
Above all others I pity the homeless: where can they go to masturbate? ~ Robert Clark
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Clark
No," said Magnus. "Nor do I intend to tear my whole life into strips and rearrange it because of a baby." What he said sounded eminently reasonable to him. He was stunned when Robert and Maryse both laughed. ~ Cassandra Clare
Robert Desnos quotes by Cassandra Clare
My mom's voice filtered through my thoughts as I stopped in front of the Robert Byrd Science Building, out of the breath from racing up the steepest, most inconvenient hill in history. ~ Jennifer L. Armentrout
Robert Desnos quotes by Jennifer L. Armentrout
The phaenomena afforded by trades, are a part of the history of nature, and therefore may both challenge the naturalist's curiosity and add to his knowledge, Nor will it suffice to justify learned men in the neglect and contempt of this part of natural history, that the men, from whom it must be learned, are illiterate mechanicks ... is indeed childish, and too unworthy of a philosopher, to be worthy of an honest answer. ~ Robert Boyle
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Boyle
Feeling a little bit alive is a lot better than just waiting to die. ~ Robert De Niro
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert De Niro
I did climb about 80 buildings around the world and I climbed even the five tallest. ~ Alain Robert
Robert Desnos quotes by Alain Robert
Within the blink of an eye, another waitress - this one giving her no more than a small smile and a "Here you are, shug" - has slipped her a ponderous mug of steaming coffee, along with some cream and sugar. Mona takes a sip, and she can immediately understand why it's talked about: it is rich and strong and faintly chocolatey, so good it induces a sigh of satisfaction. ~ Robert Jackson Bennett
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Jackson Bennett
I remember little of the Yukon or what I wrote there. ~ Robert W. Service
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert W. Service
I try to remind people, whether you have a growth manager or a value manager, you're going to go through cycles where you think you have a village idiot. ~ Robert Rodriguez
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Rodriguez
Never underestimate your problem or your ability to deal with it. ~ Robert H. Schuller
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert H. Schuller
When life takes the wind out of your sails, it is to test you at the oars. ~ Robert Breault
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Breault
You will learn to make better decisions in life with experience and time. ~ Robert Tew
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Tew
In every marriage more than a week old, there are grounds for divorce. The trick is to find and continue to find grounds for marriage. ~ Robert Anderson
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Anderson
There was a willful calm and happiness. I think people can decide to be happy. Maybe that was it. ~ Robert Reeves
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Reeves
Jealousy is the most radical primeval and naked form of admiration in war paint, so to speak. ~ Robert Louis Stevenson
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
They flew her," Matt pointed out. "Sure they did - and my hat's off to them. But it takes heroes to fly a box as primitive as this and I'm not the hero type. ~ Robert A. Heinlein
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
My object, having a surplus to deal with, is to consider how I can deal with it to the greatest advantage to the consumer- how, without inflicting any injury on Canada, I can secure the most substantial benefit to this country, to the manufacturing, to the commercial, and to the agricultural interests ... The real way in which we can benefit the working and manufacturing classes is, unquestionably, by removing the burden that presses on the springs of manufactures and commerce. ~ Robert Peel
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Peel
I like the normal things of life: I like the Mets, and the Celtics, and the N.Y. Rangers. I like to watch C-Span; I love Costco. ~ Robert Morse
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Morse
Peter also uses his wig as a cereal bowl ... He'll some times have some, like, Top Ramen in it. ~ Robert Pattinson
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Pattinson
When I was 12, I forgot the keys to my parent's apartment. So I simply climbed up seven floors to get in. ~ Alain Robert
Robert Desnos quotes by Alain Robert
When I heard of the shady tactics of the Moonies, my initial indignation was modified by empathy. I remembered only too well all the innocuous-sounding "fronts" operated by Evangelicals in order to witness to sinners, e.g., coffee houses, concerts, philosophical forums, religious surveys. None of these was ever billed for what it was. The idea was to hook the unsuspecting sinner and win an opportunity to tell him the gospel. Similar Machiavellian tactics govern various interpersonal contacts. A campus leader or foreign student may find himself the object of an Evangelical's friendly attention, not realizing he has been singled out for "friendship evangelism" because of his potentially strategic position. ~ Robert M. Price
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert M. Price
Hands of time move us forward, never back. Only memories frozen in mind, can we re-enact. ~ Robert M. Hensel
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert M. Hensel
Ilsa looked slightly aggrieved at the news that Robin still intended to marry someone other than Strike, but before she could say anything else Strike's mobile buzzed in his pocket. ~ Robert Galbraith
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Galbraith
The character you seem to have been born with is not necessarily who you are… The Promethean task of the powerful is to remake yourself into a character of power. Working on yourself like clay should be one of your greatest and most pleasurable life tasks. It makes you in essence an artist - an artist creating yourself. ~ Robert Greene
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Greene
I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible. ~ Robert A. Heinlein
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
Starting now and lasting until forever, your health and healthcare will be determined, to a remarkable and somewhat disquieting degree, by how well the technology works. ~ Robert Wachter
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Wachter
In December of 2001, after September 11th, my wife, Jane Rosenthal, and Robert DeNiro asked me if I would help them create the Tribeca Film Festival. The idea was to revitalize lower Manhattan. We would show films on piers, in high schools. It was all about the community. We wanted it to be accessible to everybody. ~ Craig Hatkoff
Robert Desnos quotes by Craig Hatkoff
I want to keep audiences off balance, so they don't know who I am or how to take me. If I duck and weave, as Frank Bruno might say, I'll have a longer shelf life. ~ Robert Carlyle
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Carlyle
The water of the Spirit, which flows from the Throne of God that has been created in us, is for other people to drink. The Spirit and the Bride say, 'Come! ~ Robert Thompson
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Thompson
So far from engaging in a war to perpetuate slavery, I am rejoiced that Slavery is abolished. I believe it will be greatly for the interest of the South. So fully am I satisfied of this that I would have cheerfully lost all that I have lost by the war, and have suffered all that I have suffered to have this object attained. ~ Robert E.Lee
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert E.Lee
Nonfiction filmmakers were afflicted by two problems: one technical, the other spiritual. Technically, they did not have the equipment to do the sort of work I had in mind. Spiritually, they didn't care about the work because they'd been mistrained. ~ Robert Drew
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Drew
Nobody enjoys accepting that they have reaped what they have sown. ~ Robert Galbraith
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Galbraith
Norman Bates heard the noise and a shock went through him. ~ Robert Bloch
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Bloch
Character is not made in a crisis- it is only exhibited ~ Robert Freedman
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Freedman
....let me tell you that the one sin I have come to fear more than any other is certainty. Certainty is the great enemy of unity. Certainty is the deadly enemy of tolerance. Even Christ was not certain at the end........Our faith is a living thing precisely because it walks hand in hand with doubt. If there was only certainty, and if there was no doubt, there would be no mystery, and therefore no need for faith. ~ Robert Harris
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Harris
It is better to go in the dark when the road must pass a lion and there is no other road. ~ Robert E. Howard
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert E. Howard
God split himself into a myriad parts that he might have friends. This may not be true, but it sounds good - and is no sillier than any other theology. ~ Robert A. Heinlein
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
The discovery of one star is the promise of another. ~ Robert Aris Willmott
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Aris Willmott
We can conceive of eternity because we cannot conceive of a cessation of time. We can conceive of infinite space because we cannot conceive of so much matter that our imagination will not stand upon the farthest star and see infinite space beyond. ~ Robert Green Ingersoll
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Green Ingersoll
Thus it was quickly decided that Pitry - being young, cheerful, and not in the room at the time - would be the best man for the job. ~ Robert Jackson Bennett
Robert Desnos quotes by Robert Jackson Bennett
I see apostasy in many ways occurring in Evangelical churches that really aren't teaching the truth of God's word. I do believe that some churches have become entertainment centers and a teaching a type of prosperity Gospel rather than teaching God's word. ~ Robert Jeffress
